The Color Purple
73Worth an evening.
A hard adult film about a woman kept from her life who comes into a self and a house.
The review
Do not put this on as background, and do not put it on for a child. Celie in rural Georgia is given to a man and kept from her sister. From Alice Walker's novel, the story is her coming into a self and a house. Shug and Sofia will not accept the arrangement. I am not going to repeat the harm so the evening feels serious.
What I trust is the refusal. Two women will not call that life normal just because it has gone on. She is not handed a speech and declared finished. She comes into her own people and a house. If you need something easy before bed, pick another night. If the room can sit with a hard life that does not stay only hard, this tells it straight.

Live Historic number 73. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry is the thin one.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
It's a Wonderful Life
85 instead of 73
It's a Wonderful Life is still a drama film, and it scores 85 instead of 73. What you gain is industry: A building and loan is unglamorous work and it saves streets.
The eight

- 9Household
She is given to a man, kept from her sister, and comes into a self and a house.
- 8Piety
Shug and Sofia will not accept an arrangement the place already calls a life.
- 8Courage
Refusing that arrangement costs the women who will not nod along with it.
- 7Republic
A woman given to a man is a social fact here, not one house's private oddity.
- 6Temperance
It does not teach you to linger on the harm or to want another turn of it.
- 8Truth
She was kept from her sister. Her own life means that separation is not the rule.
- 8Stewardship
What she has at the end is a self and a house, not a speech about strength.
